The image above (click on link to go to my site) was captured several years back and I sold a print of last year to a client in southern California. One of the projects I have explored, off and on, over the years is capturing the decaying farm life in middle TN. So many old farm houses and barns slowly being reclaimed by nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel compelled to capture images such as this, of a life that once was and never will be again before it is lost to time and memory. I think of all the memories formed in this house, probably through multiple generations and possibly multiple families, starting, raising a family, retiring or moving on. What happened here? Where did the people go? What was their life like? What were their struggles and successes? What could I learn from them? I feel a bit sad when I capture these places and often times return a few years later with the place completely reclaimed by nature. The memories washed away by the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The life of rural America has changed greatly and is disappearing, one barn and one farm house at at time. But we can still get a glimpse into a time that once was. However, these places are disappearing around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
